Dear Kiddo,

I write these few lines hoping they find you, and the children well as it leaves me at present. I guess you will wonder at not getting a letter earlier well the fact of the matter is, I have not had a chance because we have been on the move for a few days back, I have not had a letter from you for over a week now, nor did I get the shaving outfit either, but I guess I shall get it presently, I hope you packed it good because things get broken up bad in the post, if ever you send anything like that in way of a parcel try to put it in a tin box so it will travel better well I have nothing in the way of news to tell you, bill and I are getting on all right , kiss the kiddies for me, well I guess I will close now so ta-ta for the present from your loving Husband

Herbert
